SEVATOR BLOCK ANTHLNGH BIL Smith and George Advise Against Passage of Measure. By the Associated Press. Indications of strong Southern op- position to a Federal anti-lynching Jaw were apparent in the Senate to- day following the blocking yesterday | of an attempt to consider the measure. An effort made by Senator Costigan, Democrat, of Colorado, to force con- sideration of the Wagner-Costigan bill caused Senator Smith, Democrat, of South Carolina, to spring to his feet. He charged that the measure was an ‘“open reflection upon the States where the proposed legislation is aimed to operate.” Smith said no one could violate “the purity and sanctity of our wom- anhood without paying the just pen- alty,” and added he believed the in- tent of the bill was “to enact a_Fed- eral law which will penalize the South when there has been committed an act beyond the law and by forces which no law can control.” George Joins Protest. Senator George, Democrat, of Geor- gia, joined Smith in advising against the measure. He said he did not con- done lynching, but thought “that this deplorable offense against society probably can be better handled by the States if no attempt is made to inter- fere through Federal legislation.” Notice was given by Senator Cos- tigan that he would move for con- sideration later. He said he was ad- vised neither Senator Robinson, the majority leader, nor Senator McNary, the Republican leader, would object to & vote on the motion During the debate, Robinson intro- duced amendments to the bill to elim- inate some of its strongest features, including language making counties liable for damages. Costigan denied the measure re- flected on the South, asserting the current drive for Federal legislation could be traced to the lynching of two white youths in California in 1933. Claims Support in South. He said the bill was supported by & great many Southern men and women. Smith said the Nation had gone “through one bloody war under a mis- apprehension of the social structure of the country, but with a keen appre- hension of the financial and indus- trial differences. “When the bill is taken up, the Senate will be thoroughly advised of what has caused the very humiliat- ing necessity of going outside the law at times to vindicate the sanctity of our firesides and the virtue of our women.” George asked Costigan not to take up the bill this week, since he would be compelled to be absent from the Senate because of iliness in his family.

Approval of the proposed conversion | of the Tuberculosis Hospital site into |a recreational - educational center when that institution moves to Glenn | Dale, was voted last night by the Petworth Citizens' Association, meet- | ing in the Petworth School. Harvey | O. Craver reported that the site will be available for this “and other pur- poses” in 1936. As proposed by the association the southern portion of the hospital site, bounded by Thirteenth, Fourteenth | and Upshur streets, would contain a | six-acre playground. A new Dennison | Vocational School is planned for the northern portion, with the interven- ing area to be occupied by Wilson Teachers’ College. In another resolution adopted by the group, the report on March 5 of the Advisory Council on Recreation | | to the District Commissioners was ap- | proved with one change.

LIQUOR STORES IGNORE TAX Fail to Pay Federal Occupational Levy, Survey Here Reveals. Ten per cent of the operators of retail liquor establishments here have failed to pay the Federal occupational tax, Internal Revenue Bureau agents found in a recent survey, it was an- nounced today by Deputy Commis- sioner Arthur J. Mellott. ‘This per- centage was the highest revealed in five large cities. ‘The occupational tax consists of a $25 stamp tax on dealers selling both distilled and malt liquors, and $20 on those handling malt liquors only. De- ciding that a major share of revenue law violations has been the failure of dealers to purchase these stamps, bureau agents made inquiries in five large cities, covering about 35,000 places of business, Violations were as follows: Wash- ington, 10 per cent; New York, 9 per cent; Philadelphia, 8 per cent; Chi- cago, 5 per cent, and Milwaukee, 3 per cent. Investigation by the agents has led to a considerable increase in collections of the tax, it was an- nounced. “Investigation has disclosed that in most instances delinquent retail deal- ers who failed to buy the special stamp had no willful intent to violate the law,” Mellott said. “It has been the practice in this type of cases to im- pose only nominal penalties. When willful intent is disclosed, however, such violations are punishable by se- vere penalties.” Whitney Weighs Film Expansion.

The average of 22 leading carsin 1934 was 108 horsepower: Bearing pressures and tempera- ture have increased correspond- ingly—so greatly that motor parts are now made of new alloy metals of extra strength and durability to stand the load! To protect such a motor you need an oil with enough extra oil- iness and film strength to with- stand the extreme pressures and temperature! Yet motor oils generally have no more oiliness and film strength now than they had ten years ago: New refining methods have re- cently come into use to make oils free from carbon and sludge. But these refining processes have Jow- ered instead of increased oiliness and film strength—the very quali- ties on which depends an oil’s lubricating value! There is one exception—Con- oco Germ Processed Motor Oil: It, too, is free from carbon and sludge troubles. But, more impore tant, the new Germ Process—add- ing concentrated oily essence to highly refined oil—puts into this ©il 2 to 4 times the film strength of any straight mineral oil, as tests on Timken and other machines have proved! That extra film strength gives safe lubrication un- der the most extreme pressures! Germ Processed Oil protects your motor another way. Its pene- trative film, the “Hidden Quart,” stays up in your motor and cuts down starting wear: Germ Processed Oil giveslonger mileage with greater motor pro- tection, as the Indianapolis De- struction Test proved: Say “0O. K.—Drain"—fill with Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil and drive with the assurance that your oil meets your motor’s needs!
